"Jammy" had a bad eye after his fipht with Hay, and this forced him to postpone a fight at Levin. Now a further bang on the eye ha& caused the postponement of his fight with Casey at Invercargill till August 3. Levin's date, set back till August 4, will now have to>be put back again. ■ •■-.. • * • v '• •: ,-. " ■ r Back Again IACK HUMPHREYS, who took a trip J to the s other side, is back again.
